Ahead of the Airport Commissions launching its Aviation Capacity report tomorrow (1 July 2015), the Tourism Alliance working with ABTA, the Airport Operators Association and UKinbound have produced a publication showing the importance and interconnected nature of the UK’s aviation and tourism industries.

At only 7 pages of text, tables and case studies, the report represents an easily digestible summary of the arguments for: increased capacity and connectivity, reviewing and/or reducing air passenger duty, reviewing and improving Visa requirements and sets it all in the context of a call to improve the general environment for tourism and the visitor economy. It is well worth at least scanning the main sections, if not reading it in full.
